2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2006 BC3 Awarded NSF STEM Guitar Grant Conduct 5 Workshops CQI Guitar Body/neck re- design #4 Conducted 3 Workshops Guitar Body/neck re- design #3 Conducted 6 Workshops CQI Conducted first STEM Guitar Workshop(3)- NSF PLM Grant SCC established as Manufacturing site for kits Mike Aikens & Tom Singer attend 1st Purdue Guitar Workshop “Mark French” Fourth Yr. No Cost Ext Sinclair & Butler implement 2013 2014 LEAD Guitars in STEM NSF grant fully funded CQI Conducted 3 workshops Summer STEM Guitar Institute Series CQI Body neck redesign #5

▪ Dr. Mark French of the Mechanical Engineering Technology department at Purdue University blazed the trail. ▪ Nearly 1,200 kits manufactured and shipped last year out of Sinclair CC last year – Over 4,000 kits since 2006 ▪ Over 250 educators have attended STEM Guitar Workshops ▪ 45%+ of Institute participants have implemented (curriculum or build)

• Dr. Mark French, Purdue University MET

Kudos to Mark French for providing the inspiration for the nationally recognized NSF STEM Guitar

• Project. Mark’s passion for using stringed instruments to teach math and science was the catalyst

for this project. Thanks Mark! You Rock!

Science

• Physics (wave motion, sound, electricity/ magnetism, frequencies)
• Chemistry (finishes)

Technology

• CNC, Laser, Electronics, Woodworking, Tool usage (power and hand)

Engineering

• Design, analysis (CG), material properties, ergonomics, manufacturing,

Machining (CNC)

Math

• Geometry, Algebra, Logarithms, Calculus

STEM Basics

Easy to implement

• Multiple levels of integration—full class

participation to after-school club It is Gender neutral

• We are even experimenting with nail polish

painting! Students already have interest (easily recognizable) High success rate for completed guitars

• At college level success rate is 99% (1% just

stopped showing up)

So Why does it work?

PBL— Students work collaboratively, solve problems throughout the build Appeals to all student groups… Increased student confidence—“Oh yeah, I built that!” Increases community interest and involvement.

• This program will generate a lot of publicity for your class.

Relatively low cost to get started (Typically under $2500 in tools / equipment for a lab) and is a sustainable program through guitar sales

So Why does it work?

Our team cannot align to each of the 50 states So we selected these national standards to align to. Core activities

• Aligned to Common core – Math Standards
• Next Gen Science Standards -- Science and Engineering standards

Participant Modular activity development

• Align with Common core and Next Gen Science Standards
• Have access to state standard alignments – to align your development

Curriculum alignment

Curriculum development

• Develop at least one modular activity for your classroom (Begin it during the

institute), test it, share it on guitarbuilding.org

• Templates are provided

Implementation of Core Modular Learning Activities

• Implement 2+ core activities that will be shared online
• Core Modular Learning activities will use Quia to provide automatic scoring to

faculty for grading and to our evaluator.

Both Implementation items are required to receive “Guitar Bucks”

** Additional personal funding for completing end our year evaluations once curriculum has been used.

Expectations of participants

A total direct fellowship package of $1,300

• $300 cash stipend for participation in the different activities

during the five-day institute, (except some events that may have a fee to attend)

• In addition, each Fellow will receive lunch everyday

Account access to Quia software Guitar support package ($85+ value) provided at the workshop; Custom electric guitar built during the five-day institute. $$$

What’s in it for me?

$400 “guitar bucks” ["guitar bucks" are credit at the STORE

FRONT on guitarbuilding.org] supplies fund for integrating the

• curriculum. Upon completing the online student scoring

and upload of Modular learning activities. $400 cash for completing follow-up activities mid-way through the project, such as surveys and submission of related requirements as proof of project implementation.

What’s in it for me?

Description 2015 NSF “LEAD WITH GUITARS IN STEM” participants have the option of taking 3 graduate credits (semester) through the Outreach Program at the University of Wyoming. Registration Registration forms will be available at each workshop. Payment by check is required. Cost is $150.00 The fine print UW Professional Development class credit is not transferable to a UW degree program. Requirements

• Attend and actively participate in the week-long

faculty professional development institute.

• Completion of homework and Quia assignments

during institute

• Submit one (1) complete Modular Learning Activity

(MLA) after completion of institute.

• Submit participating students’ responses to 3-4 Quia

Pre-and Post-Test Quizzes after completion of institute.

• Required paperwork from the University of

Wyoming.

• Payment for courses.

Faculty surveys will be sent to you to fill out and trigger fellowship incentives (End of year, and yearly follow-ups) Core activities used in the classroom and graded through Quia assist in providing aggregate data on student performance. Pre and post institute surveys Data and reporting done through the:

Surveys and Data Collection

Meet the Team

How to get the most out of the Guitar Building Institute

Explore the website: guitarbuilding.org Watch the videos on how to build Answer the question: “What might this look like in my classroom?” Know your state’s learning standards

• 1. Do Your Homework

To build guitars with your students To create or modify a workspace To integrate guitar building into existing curriculum To incorporate guitar building activities into math and science lessons

• 2. Set a Goal

Be prepared for dust, paint, sweat Bring safety equipment: Safety glasses, hearing protection , dust mask Wear closed-toe comfortable footwear Wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement Wear layers: t-shirt and zip sweatshirt or sweater

• 3. Dress Appropriately

Build your own custom guitar in five days! Explore guitar building curriculum activities to use in class with your students!

A Typical Day at the Guitar Building Institute

Overview of daily tasks Instructor presentations Do pre-written curriculum activities Write new curriculum lessons/activities Align tasks and activities to state standards

Classroom – Computer Lab

Guitar body: contouring, sanding Neck: headstock design, fretting Electronics: pickups, wiring, soldering Intonation: strings, action, fine tune

Construction Lab

Q&A

Guitar part overview

• Learn the parts and pieces of a guitar
• Modular learning activity Found on

Guitar building.org under the learn tab, Faculty Institute resources

Guitar Anatomy and Cost Estimate Activity

Homework

Guitar part cost analysis

• Visit websites like
• Stewart Macdonald (stewmac.com)
• All Parts (allparts.com)
• Guitar fetish (guitarfetish.com)
• Luthier Mercantile (Lmii.com)
• We have to be able to purchase the parts at the same place at

your cost (no buddy deals or out of the trunk deals) Ebay is OK if we can use the same vendor.

• Find the Cost analysis activity under the faculty institute

resources of the Guitarbuilding.org website.

• You will need to bring it completed to the institute
